Short Photoperiod Induces Dormancy in Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2005
Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) has been cultivated as an ornamental and food plant in Japan for more than 1000 years. As large areas are required for its cultivation (approximately 2 m2 per plant), physiological research, such as into the effect of environmental factors on dormancy, has not been well studied until recently. In this paper, seedlings were used

Obesity and Natural Products: Mechanisms, Therapeutic Potential, and Future Directions

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Natural products such as EGCG, berberine, curcumin, and capsaicin modulate key metabolic pathways including AMPK activation, adipogenesis inhibition, and inflammatory signaling. While clinical trials demonstrate modest benefits on body weight and metabolic parameters, translational challenges related to bioavailability, dose feasibility, and regulatory

Loss‐of‐Function Mutation in CER2‐LIKE1 Reduced Accumulation of Cuticular Wax and Susceptibility to Thrips in Welsh Onion

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 871-883, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes can form a hydrophobic barrier on aerial plant surfaces, which is essential for mediating plant‐environment interactions by providing protection against both biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, a cuticular wax mutant (gl) was identified and characterised in Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.), exhibiting a functional ...
